“Ferran? Pep may have seen something that doesn’t fit him”

Ferran Torres is one of the signings of this winter. With the official status of FC Barcelona, ​​it is expected to be among the most expensive transfers of this period this season: Barça will pay 55 million fixed plus 10 in variables to Manchester City.

The culés add the Spanish international to their squad and, in El Larguero de la Cadena SER, both Gustavo López and Álvaro Benito, both former First Division footballers and regular media analysts, tried to find their fit in Xavi Hernández’s new Barcelona.

“He is a very versatile player. I have doubts as to where Xavi can use him. He performs very well as a forward so with the football he intends, perhaps he will place him there. In the National Team he is very successful, so I am waiting to know where the coach will use him. It gives another level to the front. Ferran has an overflow, he’s powerful in one-on-one game and he’s also a great finisher, which has surprised me. “, assured Benito, also a collaborator of this house.

The former Argentine international, for his part, showed more doubts about the possible fit of the Spanish attacker. “We know what Xavi wants and what his style is, but it remains to be seen what results he will get. I have doubts to make up the whole group and see in what position each of them will play. I am of the idea that big teams are made of important footballers, “he said.

Gustavo López also raised the reasons for Ferran’s departure from Manchester City and the reasons why Guardiola let him go. “If Guardiola considered that Ferran Torres would do a good role for him, he would continue to have him in his ranks. He will have seen something that does not fit him. He seems to me to be a good footballer, who can give him something that Barça needs, but he is still a mystery, “he said.
